The best scalping strategy is to have an out of sample strategy that's backtested out of sample. A machine doing the scalping for you is the only way to do it. You won't win in these markets competing vs computers. Think about it.

I think that I was misunderstood. People got emotional and defensive thinking that I was attacking their beloved FTI and his thread. Let me make one thing clear. I don't know FTI and I don't care about his thread. Now that that's out of the way, I ...

Look, I am not claiming to have the secret sauce. I am also not hiding a secret system that I am not willing to share with the thread. What I can tell you is that what's made me profitable over the years is accumulated knowledge + experience. I have ...

Hehehe this post cracked me up. Most of the replies to my post cracked me up. Why would I need to be spoon fed by you guys? I already have a CFA, MSc in Finance and work as a full time PM for a large asset manager. You probably didn't understand the ...

You will be better equipped to trade in the market once you learn how the markets work. You won't find it here. Coursera might be a good place to start. Too many newbies, come to the site in the hope of the holy grail. You have to realize that FF is ...

I like this quote. He is being honest. However, it is important to define the context. Forex is gambling if you trade like an amateur retail trader. You will almost never make money by just staring at the charts all day every day. That being said, ...

The owner of this thread is being honest. I applaud him. The FX market wasn't built for retail traders. The professionals with billions of assets under management still manage to lose. CTA's running managed futures worth billions still fail at FX ...

Buffet commented a few months back that the market is fairly valued. I also remember him saying that investors are best advised to buy when markets are undervalued, hold when fairly valued and sell when over valued. This saying was old, he now ...

I agree with that you wrote, when I say that the market is in a bubble, it doesn't mean that I said it would pop anytime soon. Insiders may have been selling and the dumb money might have been buying, that doesn't mean markets will crash. I am ...

I never really liked Barry Ritholtz and now I know why. He just has to express his opinion on everything, and I don't like people who are too hasty to express their opinion. Just because the market isn't at the "dot com" bubble levels in terms of ...
